Magna carta causes changes in England

  and signed by King John listing rights that the
  king could not ignore.

  English nobles decided to force the king to
  respect their rights.

12
Effects of magna carta

• What were the effects of m/c- the magna carta
  faced with war and financial troubles.
• List three of the demands and why they are
  important- to respect their rights because
  someone might have a pretty good idea during
  harsh times. No one could be held in jail without
  reason because they did nothing wrong so why pay
  the price. The king had to follow the laws also
  because it was not fair if he didnt.

Changes after the Magna Carta

  a new system called parliament.

  council of nobles for advice and money.

  individual work to the students, all teamwork or
  group work.

  throne.
• English take the lead- England invaded France and
  won many key battles.
• Joan of Arc-a teenage peasant girl who rallied
  the French troops and turned the tide of the
  hundred years war.

17
Results or the war

• Changes in England- the war helped increase the
  power of the parliament.
• Changes in France- the kings power was getting
  larger after the war.

  gained more power to the king means that the king
  will have power but the people wont.

  eastern Asia.

  rats caring the disease to Mediterranean port.

  people were killed.
• What happened to it- it is still here to this
  very day.
